Chapter 535 - In the Lotus-rain Pavilion, Feng Yuxuan Drinks Tea (2/2)

“My Lady, don’t splash water anymore. It’s cold. His Highness will be unhappy when he sees it.” Mo Lan reached out to stop her. Mo Xuetong’s health was still poor. The water was under the lotus leaves which blocked the sunlight, so it was extremely cold. It would not be good for one’s health if the cold air rushed up to them in the summer.

Therefore, Feng Yuran was very unhappy when he saw Mo Xuetong stretched her hands to the water. However, Mo Xuetong liked to reach her hand into the icy cold water because it was extremely comfortable. She would reach her hand into the water while he was not around.

“Don’t worry. I’ll only do it for a while. His Highness won’t be able to see it.” Mo Xuetong stuck out her tongue and a sweet smile appeared on her innocent face. Her long lashes fluttered and she looked rather pleased with herself.

“Yeah, Mo Lan, it’s fun to put hands into the water. Look, the fish are biting my hand.” Mo Yu giggled and reached into the water as Mo Xuetong did. Seeing that Mo Lan was still pulling a long face, she naughtily picked up a few drops of water and sprinkled it on Mo Lan. Mo Lan dodged, but a few of the drops still landed on her.

She was so angry that she went over to pinch Mo Yu. Seeing Mo Lan’s expression, Mo Yu stood up hurriedly. She walked around the stone table and stools and ran out. Mo Lan did not want to let her go and went after her hurriedly.

One of the two chased and the other escaped, playing in the pavilion.

Mo Xuetong leaned lazily against the railings of the pavilion. She picked up the circular fan beside her and fanned it while instructing them, “Mo Yu, hurry up and run. Come back from behind.” Or, she said, “Mo Lan, you’re a little slower. Just a little more and you’ll be able to catch her.”

Her bright eyes curved into a smile. She looked extremely happy.

Just as they were playing around, they suddenly heard Steward w.a.n.g’s loud voice. “Your Highness, this way please.”

Mo Xuetong stopped fanning. She turned around and saw the gentle Feng Yuxuan coming over with a smile on his handsome face.

Why was Feng Yuxuan here? Mo Xuetong blinked her deep eyes and did not understand how he could enter the inner courtyard without Feng Yuran’s company. Even though Feng Yuran was his brother, it was not proper for him to barge in. Mo Xuetong’s stiff hand shook slightly while she looked at Feng Yuxuan dazedly.

It was rare to see Mo Xuetong in such a daze. The smile on Feng Yuxuan’s lips grew bigger as he walked towards her.

“Greetings, Your Highness, King Chu!”

“Greetings, Your Highness, King Chu!” The two maids had regained their wits and immediately saluted.

“Forego formalities!” Feng Yuxuan smiled lightly. He was as gentle as water.

Mo Xuetong stood up immediately as well. Holding her fan, she saluted. “Greetings, Your Highness, King Chu.”

“Consort Xuan, you don’t have to be so polite. I came here to visit Eighth brother and you with Ya’er. When I saw you from afar, Ya’er wanted to come first. So I accompanied her here,” Feng Yuxuan explained with a smile. He waved his hand and sat down on a stone bench not far from Mo Xuetong. He picked up the teacup that Mo Xuetong had placed on the table and as if he did not notice that half of the cup of tea had just been consumed by Mo Xuetong, he took a sip, looked at it curiously and took two more sips.

Then he turned around to Mo Xuetong who paused in the spot and asked with a smile, “Consort Xuan, what kind of tea is it? It has a smell of lotus fragrance and is very refres.h.i.+ng. I have never drunk this kind of great tea before. I wonder if you can answer my question.”

Mo Xuetong pursed her lips and was very unhappy. She looked at her cup of tea unhappily but could not say anything. He had already drunk it, and she could not ask him to spit it out. As she saw how he neglected minor points of conduct, she also sat down. With a smile, she said, “Your Highness King Chu, you flatter me. I’ve only collected some dew to make tea. It’s not some good tea. Sorry, it upsets you, Your Highness.”

Her words were very direct. She looked at the cup in Feng Yuxuan’s hand with her watery eyes and seemed a little annoyed.

Feng Yuxuan seemed not to understand Mo Xuetong’s unpleasant words. He raised his eyebrows and seemed to be interested in discussing the tea with Mo Xuetong. “Consort Xuan, you’re so intelligent. I wonder if there’s any dew collected from the lotus leaves. Can you send me some and let me make some fragrant tea in my manor?”

Feng Yuxuan acted oddly today!

Mo Xuetong had no idea what he was trying to say at that moment. She looked up and saw Steward w.a.n.g bringing a beautiful woman over. Was this Ya’er that Feng Yuxuan had just mentioned?
